Abhidhamma means Higher Teaching or \u2018Special Teaching\u2019. It is unique in its abstruseness, analytical approach, immensity of scope and conduciveness to one\u2019s liberation.","4.3 The Abhidhamma Pi\uf0e6aka: The Higher teachings of the Buddha The Abhidhamma Pi\uf0e6aka consists of seven books; a brief description of each is as under: [1].

Pa\uf0e6\uf0e6h\uf081na: Some topics as in Dhammasa\uf0f4ga\uf0cf\uf0ad and Vibha\uf0cfga.","\u2756The Abhidhamma is an outcome of great insight into psychic operations, a patient observation of mind and its properties and also a keen device of classifying them into logical categories. \u2756The Buddhist psychological analysis, is, however, inseparably linked up with the spiritual experience of its teacher and aspires beyond the realms of modern psychological analysis into the realms of transcendental reality which is characterized by complete restfulness of mind and thought.","\u2756This Tipi\uf0e6aka was transmitted from generation to generation by Mukhap\uf081tha (oral tradition) and later on, it was inscribed in palm leaves for the first time in the first century BCE At Aluvihar of Matale Sri Lanka, in the time of King Va\uf0e6\uf0e6agam\uf081ni (c.29-17 BCE).","5.The benefits of the Buddhist Texts \u2022 In sum, studies and researches in the P\uf081li Canon are not only of tremendous value to the study of Buddhism, but also of great benefit to a broad spectrum of disciplines including the Thai language, geography, history, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, political science, economics, law, education, religion, philosophy, psychology, etc. \u2022 As pointed out earlier, as long as the P\uf081li Canon exists, so will Buddhism- the original, authentic Buddhism. Hence, as long as the P\uf081li Canon is there, we still have a chance to get to know Buddhism and derive the genuine benefits that are available from this noble religion.","5.The benefits of the Buddhist Texts \u2022 It is hoped that the P\uf081li Tipi\uf0e6aka will become the vehicle, like a Buddhist missionary who travels far and wide, for expounding the Dhamma, which is beautiful in the beginning, beautiful in the middle, and beautiful in the end \u2022 In accordance with the Buddha\u2019s instruction for the first batch of his disciples to proclaim the Teachings so as to attain the goal of expanding the welfare and happiness of the multitude to cover the entire populace of the world for many years to come.","Thank you for your attention","\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e01\u0e31 \u0e2a\u0e15\u0e39 \u0e23\u0e1e\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e28\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e23\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e1a\u0e13\u0e31 \u0e11\u0e34\u0e15 \u0e2a\u0e32\u0e02\u0e32\u0e27\u0e34\u0e0a\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e30\u0e1e\u0e17\u0e38 \u0e18\u0e28\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e32 \u0e1a\u0e31\u0e13\u0e11\u0e15\u0e34 \u0e28\u0e36\u0e01\u0e29\u0e32 \u0e27\u0e17\u0e34 \u0e22\u0e32\u0e25\u0e22\u0e31 \u0e2a\u0e07\u0e06\u0e4c\u0e2a\u0e23\u0e38 \u0e19\u0e34 \u0e17\u0e23\u0e4c \u0e21\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e27\u0e34\u0e17\u0e22\u0e32\u0e25\u0e22\u0e31 \u0e21\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e08\u0e2c\u0e38 \u0e32\u0e25\u0e07\u0e01\u0e23\u0e13\u0e23\u0e32\u0e0a\u0e27\u0e17\u0e34 \u0e22\u0e32\u0e25\u0e22\u0e31 \u0e27\u0e17\u0e34 \u0e22\u0e32\u0e40\u0e02\u0e15\u0e2a\u0e23\u0e38 \u0e34\u0e19\u0e17\u0e23\u0e4c"]
